86 GOOD UNIVERSITIES GUIDE
Student profile
Catherine Elliott — Bachelor of Commerce (Economics and Finance)
Why did you choose to study
economics and finance?
Federation Business School was my first
preference for study after finishing school.
It has smaller class sizes and a great
leadership program, and I wanted to study
somewhere that not only cared about my
academic progress, but also gave me opportunities to
develop my skills outside of the classroom.
What was the best thing about your course?
Federation Business School has an open-door policy and is
progressive about students’ needs and participation.
Currently I’m spending six months in South Korea as part of
the New Colombo Plan project and last year I was privileged
enough to meet with Julie Bishop, international ambassadors
and DFAT staff as part of the same plan. I also had the
opportunity to attend interstate conferences and travel to
Singapore.
What I have really enjoyed about my program is the Work
Integrated Learning embedded in my program. Last year I
completed an internship and was able to use content from my
studies of financial management, statistics and economics,
and apply them to projects in a finance department.
What was the worst thing about your course?
I can honestly say nothing! I have enjoyed every aspect of my
time with Federation Business School.
What work do you hope to find?
I would love to work in a government department, advising on
economics.
What advice would you give to students considering
studying economics and finance?
Don’t be closed-minded towards studying at a regional
university. The staff at Federation Business School have
inspired, motivated and challenged me to think critically and
creatively about every aspect of my degree.
Have you completed further study?
I am due to complete my undergraduate degree this year and
will hopefully commence honours next year.
